I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to
the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace
of Him anywhere.
<P>
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor
in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was
not there either.
<P>
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding.
<P>
I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwellend that I saw Him;
He was nowhere else to be found.
